"Taking a cooking class in Italy has always been something I wanted to do. I imagined myself spending a day in the old-fashioned kitchen with a typical Italian nonna making sauces and grilling meats to perfection. After reading the reviews on TA, I decided to book a day with Carmelita and was not dis..."appointed.
Carmelita is most definitely NOT your typical Italian nonna and her kitchen is modern, bright and very spacious. Planning our day via email was very professional and from the moment I met her in the beautiful Mercato di Mezzo in Bologna both of knew we are going to have a fun day together.
The market tour was wonderful and the perspective Carmelita offered is probably not something I would come up with on my own just from reading various reviews about different places in the market. I enjoyed visiting the best shops, getting the highest quality ingredients and nibbling on amazing cheeses, charcuterie and fresh fruit. The ice coffee and the wine we had during our tour were a...

"Everything in Bologna begins in the Piazza. It is the center of the city and will lead you to all of the historical and artistic areas. Currently it is undergoing significant restoration but all the cafes, shops and historical sites were open when we were there. "

"We are not professional cooks but love great food. Traveling to Italy we wanted to experience some authentic cooking, a cooking school, or cooking lessons... we found the Bologna cooking school was near where we are traveling and made plans to be there. Big Carlo is a great guide around Bologna. ..."Go with him to the markets to get the food you will cook and you will have a great time. We learned how to make tortelloni and taglietelli. We actually made our own including Bolgnese sauce. We have never made pasta before this.... Afterwards we had a meal of all that we cooked and then some... and it was delicious. Thanks Big Carlo!

"The fifteenth largest Cathedral in the world and it's all on a spectacular scale. On a hot day (33 degrees) it was just as hot in the Basilica. Although there's no entry fee you have to pay a 2 Euro fee to take pictures but it's well worth it to capture the scale of the building and the terrific det..."ails it contains. Recommended.

"Having found Cityred Bus via Google we did the one-hour city tour which was a bit lacking on information due to the pre-recorded commentary. A couple of days later we did the San Luca trip on the wee train to get a view of the city which saved very sore legs as it's a fair hike up the portico from t..."he city gate. The best bit though was the afternoon Strada Verde trip to the Ferrari Museum in Modena and the Balsamic Vinegar producer nearby where we were treated to a really informative personalised afternoon. Couldn't thank Marnie and her driver enough. Great value at 48 Euro a head and we'd recommend it to anyone visiting Bologna as a way of learning and enjoying some of the great industry that's around the city.

"Walking up to this church was a wonderful experience. After too many days of being inside churches and museums, we loved walking under the portico and enjoying the views. This is sheltered, so despite the heat and sun of Italy in July it was pleasant. There wasn't any English explanation of the alta..."rs or saints, but the chapel of the Virgin was stunning on its own.

"Seven church in one a MUST see in Bologna ,locate in a magicand beautiful square. Go at night for a walk with the person you love and sit in the square ,the light ,the silence and the beauty just Magic"

"Great safe, family atmosphere in this square which is probably helped by the presence of the Carabinieri and Army officers. Super evening watching Italian language film on the big screen in the open air. Plenty of places to eat and drink around the piazza too."

"The “ Compianto sul Cristo morto “, a terracotta group of figures in the Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Vita is a life-size group of six separate figures standing in a semicircle lamenting the dead Christ lying before them. The expressions of the grief and torment of the figures is intensified by t..."heir dramatic facial details. This alone make this sanctuary worth the visit. Only yards from the main square.

"I climbed the tower with my 8 year old son, 497 or something stairs, and 97 meters, very impressive! 😀👍🏻
the Asinelli Tower (97 m, can be climbed) and the Garisenda Tower (48 m, is closed).
The view is fantastic, I can recommend it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻"

"What a fantastic day. Alessandro and Barbara did not disappoint! An amazing experience indeed--learned so much about the food culture of Italy and was able to taste so many ethnic dishes. Well organized, interesting, and entertaining! Yes, it should be on the top of your list if you visit Bologna! "

"Made the reservation months in advance and was pumped. We drove from Florence early morning to get there in time for 9am tour.
Arrived and parked just around the corner from the factory at a big open car park and left the windows slightly open as it was already pretty hot that early in the morni..."ng. Got to the front gate and check-in and paid the 10 euro fee then was escorted to the museum entrance were we meet up with our tour guide.
Was given headsets so we could all hear our guide all times throughout the tour. We went through the factory first and to see the love and care they put into each hand assemble bike is great.
After the factory tour we were taken back for the guided museum tour. Very informative and lots to see. We were let lose afterwards to roam around the museum freely. Visited the Ducati Factory store on the way out and grab a T shirt using the discount card given when we check-in.
Must see for bike enthusiast. Don't own a Ducati but I want one now!

"Had a great wander around and was amazed to see the original autopsy table dating back to the 1700's. It's easy to imagine the medical students sitting in the theatre listening and watching their tutors. A pretty good place to visit and consider the history."

"This is one of the sights you must visit in Bologna, as it is one of the city's simbols. It's 60m high.
Also, Bologna is known for its towers (it's assumed it had around 180 towers between the 12th and the 13th century),"

"This one is a must see, Be sure to visit Teatro Anatomico while you are there, as well as the study rooms of the legisti.
Archiginnasio di Bologna was built in the 16th century and is one of the most important buildings in Bologna,"
